Thanks for the update! For Christmas this year, I want to see your entire army on display 😂. But seriously, that would be pretty amazing to see! Loving the tanks. Assassin looks great. Keep it up!
The dirt/wear on paint for the path to the hatch is just an awesome attention to detail. I'm trying to think how you can PM your address. I'm certain I have a pile of hunter killer missiles as I never put them on tanks, happy to send em to you. Ooooo Assasssins! Let me know how it plays!
I really dont, know. It's something I've been trying to work out so I can be a bit more interactive, as for the missiles, thank you, but I've got a few coming from locals, but I really appreciate the thought, and generosity. Youra top bloke.
I picked up the older version of the bombard kit on eBay with the auto cannon sponsons, and got two cheap. I was miserable putting that kit together so I only built one, they are gravitons so I don't even think they will be good, but good on you for suffering through 3 of them.
They are Goofy looking, but I need something heavy for my destroyers, and it fits the bill nicely. But they are a bugger, there was a lot of putty that went into them to keep them straight.
Your marines are top notch, all of them are a spectacular visual masterpiece. I'd like to mention your channel in one of my upcoming vids of smaller lesser known heresy/ 40k channels I watch if it's ok with you.
@thatnewhobbyhigh not sure I even count as a channel. A mention is always appreciated. I'm actually thinking of doing the opposite to you and having some proper dirty word bearers, although I have a large pile of mechanicus as well. Emperors children could be a good clean legion as well. Im half way through a 10 man Invictarus Suzerain unit currently, and need to do a video of the despoiler unit soon. It just takes me soooo long to paint stuff. :) also got a campaign running with friends atm, final game will be a 3 v 3 9k a side at WHW so will probably do a quick video showing the armies set up. It's Ultras, Ravens and Alpha Legion v World Eaters, Iron Warriors and Thousand sons. Should be fun. I'm playing 3k v Dark Angels on Sunday as well. Have to admit to being a bit jealous of your Guilliman and the Destroyers you were working on. Keep it up, really enjoy the regular updates. You inspire me!
I know you’re already planning on doing word bearers and you’re into the calth campaign so clean word bearers would definitely be a cool dichotomy to contrast with the ultras. But if you are considering other legions for squeaky clean boys, I’d suggest: 1. Emperors Children, they’re all about perfection, beauty and are highly disciplined and drilled 2. Imperial fists, they work well being weathered and damaged but they also look great in spotless yellow. Again highly drilled and disciplined. I can definitely imagine a gruff IF drill sergeant screaming at his men to clean their armour. 3. Thousand sons, they’re usually presented in their gleaming candy red, looks great, and I imagine they can cheat and use their magic to un-soil their armour. As far as getting termis around, I’d say caestus as you mentioned, warmonger consul to deepstrike, or just stick them in a land raider and ram them down the other side of the table. There isn’t really an option for most legions to get termis around the board that isn’t either expensive or risky but that’s good for game balance imo.
I was considering fists, if I'm honest, but I ave reasons that I did not choose the other legion you mentioned, ToS way back in this series you can see a single squad of 15 thousand sons I painted for a friend, and it really didn't grab me as a nice colour to paint, it was nice njust not to done on a repetitive mass army. Emperor's children have the best colour scheme of all Horus heresy army, but they are very popular, I think I've seen about 7 EC armys here. As for transport normal marines have two transport options for35pts, termis must have something near the same cost. or you know, cheep, I just have to find it.
@thatnewhobbyhigh thing with Terminators for Ultras is if they are using the Logos Lectora, they can't deep strike, infiltrate, underground assault, etc. I'd go with a command squad for your Praetor and slap them in a Proteus. I've had a lot of success running them this way with the Praetor. (So 6 guys in it, as it has 12 capacity) make sure a couple have Thunder Hammers. Other advantage to this is that the Land Raider can use the legion trait to give +1 to hit to multiple models within 6" as it can split target/fire with power of the machine spirit. Alas, tanks aren't the best in this edition. Doesn't take up a slot either. Add to that, they are WS5 or WS6 with the Logos +1 WS activated. They are also line due to the banner and give everything within 6" ld10.
That is why i'm scared to read first heretic.. I've read a good bit of the HH series, including know no fear and mark of calth.. so the idea of falling in love with the word bearers now seems anathema to me
It is such a good book, just have a look at the intro and first chapter, on the Ultramarines invasion of monarchia. It so strange to see the Ultramarines through the eyes of a civilian terrified populace.
Speedy recovery mate, had one cut out the side of my head last year. Gives me good street rep, makes it look like I’ve been in a bar fight. Definitely need those regulars checks though, literal lifesavers!
oh and i dont want to anoy you but i asked under the last video about the german transfer guy, you must have forgotten, but i am really keen on getting my hands on some custom transfers!!
Ok this is the fellah, he works out of esty. Real good decals, quick print and delivery. I've used him a bunch of times. www.etsy.com/au/shop/ImpatientTabletop
Great idea with those sentry guns! You made me want to try the idea myself so I decided to shoot the shit and do a bit of list building. However I ran into a couple issues that make this idea not as great as I originally thought (rules wise atleast). 1. From what I can see, sentries don’t get the legiones astartes (____) rule. So they can’t benefit from the legion trait or the lectora rules. In that regard they’re stuck on BS3. From what I can see a techmarine can still join them for BS4 with a cognis signum. 2. The sentries are bulky (4) so don’t fit in the fortifications. It’s a shame because this would make a unit that’s you’ll never see otherwise actually viable. I was looking to make an imperial fists list with solar auxilia. Imagining a small contingent of IF that a greatly undermanned, trying to protect a critical zone they’re not equip for, so having to resort to automated systems and auxilia
I had a look and now I am sad, you are right they don't get legion rule. Thank you for point this out, It would have been embarrassing If I'd done this on its first outing game. I'll let everyone know next vid.I am annoyed but without hope perhaps the tech marine allows the unit to use his rule once he joins it? I don't know. As for fittng into fortifications I wasn't planning to have the turrets in them only the tech marine. But I have also just read I can't do this either. So I have a cool and essentially useless unit. But I do like them. They will be quite useful in zone mortalis games. And fun in open field games 100 pts to take a while round of shooting from a enemy unit. Its fun and chaotic and I know I'll love using them. You are correct at all points. But they are still gonna be fun to field and paint. Because I really enjoy Goofy units.
@@thatnewhobbyhighhonestly with a techmarine with them I think they still have a place. They don’t get the legion rule but with the techmarine they’re still equivalent to most legion heavy weapons squads and are cheaper. Not to mention they free up your heavy support slots
Look great, I think you’re being a bit harsh on yourself mate. Does the Lorgar reveal mean that wordbearers will be the next army? I can’t remember if you’ve already revealed that… 😂
@@thatnewhobbyhigh in my first Guilliman outing my entire army got flattened by an Iron Warrior Gunline. (3K) Only Guilliman in his LR was left, everything else was dead. He turned and fled...ahem....made a tactical retreat. In the second game, (3k v IW/Custodes). I played a full force of infantry and used his fleet and the Logos Lectora extra 2" movement rule to get my entire force in his face in turn 2. It was a brutal encounter but ultimately Guilliman died. It ended 15-15. He managed to whiff his combat spectaularly in the 2nd game, but his choice of weapons is so strong. Feels like with the Logos and Guilliman Ultras can be really good once you get the hang of them. An entire line of WS6 and +1 strength guys hitting you in turn 2 is no joke. Got a few vids of my Ultras up. Love you to take a look mate. :-)
Not bad, not bad at all. I’m not too Up to date with the lord in hh. Is this while the big e still fully alive. Before he gets the flaming sword? I know the 40k version he has the big e’s flaming sword
That finecast model is from the Ultramarines Honour Guard kit that came with the older terminator armoured Marneus Calgar. They were initially a metal kit but are sold as finecast nowadays. I expect they'll be removed from sale in the near future as they don't have 40k rules. Those models fit right in with the Ultrarmarines Horus Heresy aesthetic. I stuck shields from forge world Invictarus Suzerains on the 2 marines with axes from the set to make chosen for an ultramarine praetor as it's cool to have unique models for the leader's bodyguard. The model you have seems to have been converted a bit but the original has one sword and a smaller gladius, which I really like because along with a crested helmet and cape it's exactly how one of the ultramarine characters, Captain Orfeo, is described in the Heresy novel Betrayer. Those "funky" numbers definitely are odd, though they're all over 40k decal sheets. Funnily enough when I first saw them in a Dawn of War computer game I assumed they must be alien numbers because they looked so odd.
@@thatnewhobbyhigh Aaron Dembski Bowden is generally pretty vague about colours of marine armour, capes, etc so I figure your usual scheme would be fine. He's just a really cool mini to have in the collection!
Between the Outer Circle talking about splitting a tooth and pulling it out with pliers and you having just a bit of your face opened up, I am beginning to think The Land Down Under is just built different. And I agree that the "Siege Breaker" is a weird model for that consul, but I bought two, and tossed the age of sigmar hammers in a bits box and gave them chain swords and turned them into Master's of Signals. They have the little iPad, a vox and a cognis Signum on the model so I thought they were perfect for that.
Thats not a shabby idea at all! I might pince that. At some stage I'll have to tell yas in detail how I lost my teeth. The short version is "brick fight".
Army showcases are my favorite type of video, but especially when the narrator has such a love of the hobby and appreciation for the Heresy. 30K has the most devoted and impassioned fan base, and it shows in videos like this.
The new vehicle transfers are FANTASTIC. I've waited so long for a sheet from GW with squad symbols the right size for rhino top hatches. It's so cool being able to clearly mark if my rhino has a tactical squad, heavy weapon squad, assault marine squad, etc through a big white decal on the top. It's just a pity they're $60 and took so long to be released in Aus.
Argal Tal is one of my favourite characters from the heresy so far, but you’re not wrong about him being a moody wotsit. First heretic was a fantastic read imo. I haven’t long finished reading it. Read that, just finished know no fear and now I’m on to betrayer!
